A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 2033 Entering the palace, the ceremony is being prepared...

The most important issue of the Dongling New Year's morning court was naturally the surrender of Nanling. The general Feng Liyou submitted a memorial before the New Year, saying that the captives of Nanling would be delivered in a month, and that the emperor would send someone to take over the government affairs of Nanling, and at the same time, he would request that the military token be returned to the emperor.

The Fengli clan used to hold the military command and controlled half of the troops of the previous dynasty, but things are different now. Even for Feng Qingchen, Feng Liyou dare not get involved in the military power for fear of arousing the emperor's suspicion.

During the morning court session, all the ministers offered their suggestions. Someone had already been chosen to handle the affairs of Nanling. Fu Lin was in Nanling, so Feng Liyou was asked to work with Fu Lin to handle the affairs. The two, one civil and one military, would supervise each other.

As for the military token, Feng Liyou handed it in, and the Ninth Prince would naturally accept it. In order to conquer Nanling, the Ninth Prince transferred most of Dongling's troops to the front line. The troops in Feng Liyou's hands were the largest in Dongling, and there were still 300,000 of them until now. The court officials would not feel at ease if they did not take them back.

The inclusion of Nanling into the territory of Dongling was a foregone conclusion. During the Chinese New Year, in order to make a difference in the new year, the ministers had already gathered their staff at home to discuss countermeasures. The regulations brought out by the court officials during the morning court session were all feasible to a certain extent, which made the Ninth Prince in a good mood.

Nanling was a big event. Even if no trivial matters were discussed in the morning court, a lot of time was spent just to decide the major policies. By the time the government affairs of Nanling were discussed, it was almost noon. The court officials had been standing in the hall for nearly four hours and were already hungry and thirsty. They could no longer hold back their desire. Some of them had poor kidneys and their faces were almost turning purple. They wished they could find a place to solve the problem immediately, but the Ninth Prince had no intention of announcing the adjournment of the court.

After the matter in Nanling came to an end, the Ninth Prince proposed that he would hold the coronation ceremony and the empress enthronement ceremony in a month and asked the Ministry of Rites to make preparations.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar. Although this matter was within everyone's expectations, the sudden mention of it by the Ninth Prince still surprised everyone.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince's authority was gradually increasing, and no one in the court dared to say anything. Besides, the Ninth Prince was injured, and it would be difficult for him to have children in the future. Now Feng Qingchen has the Ninth Prince's son, and Feng Liyou has won the battle. It is not strange to make Feng Qingchen the queen for both public and private reasons, but...

Feng Li’s legitimate daughter!

This identity still made the court officials feel uncomfortable. The previous dynasty was destroyed because of Feng Li's legitimate daughter, but now the Ninth Prince made Feng Li's legitimate daughter the queen. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem so auspicious.

There was a minister who was not afraid of death. He spoke out his concerns despite everyone's dissuasion. In return, the Ninth Prince gave him a cold look: "Incompetent."

These two concise words encompass a lot of meanings, shocking everyone so much that they dared not say anything more and just lowered their heads and acted like quails.

The Ninth Prince had never thought of listening to the opinions of the court officials. He was an autocratic person, and even if he sat on the throne, he could not change his nature.

After the Ninth Prince made the announcement, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to make preparations. The coronation ceremony must be grand and no matter the cost, it must be held.

The Ninth Prince did not care at all about the coronation ceremony which only happened once in a lifetime, and the ceremony of establishing the Queen which only happened once in a lifetime. People said that he was extravagant and wasteful. As an emperor, if he could not even do such a small thing, what kind of emperor was he?

There is silver in the national treasury. As Nanling is a defeated country, all the royal collections will belong to Dongling. Dongling is not short of silver now, and the civil and military officials will naturally not go against the emperor on such a small matter.

As long as the emperor is wise and the country is prosperous and the people are strong, the officials and officials will not care about the emperor's extravagance. As an emperor, he will naturally enjoy more than ordinary people.

The coronation ceremony and the empress enthronement ceremony are in full swing. After these grand ceremonies, the Ministry of Rites will also prepare for the prisoner presentation ceremony. The Emperor of Nanling, his concubines, princesses, and princes will be escorted to the Dongling Imperial City after the ceremony.

This was the first major event in the launch of the new era. All the civil and military officials in the court dared not neglect it. They all wanted to use this opportunity to enhance the country's prestige and let the people of Beiling see that they dared to attack Dongling. The fate of Nanling was a lesson for them.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen, as the parties involved, were the ones with the least time. Apart from the embroiderer coming to measure her size and making the phoenix robe for Feng Qingchen to wear at the ceremony, Feng Qingchen didn't have to do anything but sit and wait.

"I've never seen a queen as relaxed as you." Empress Dowager Xie couldn't help but feel jealous at this time. However, what made people most jealous was that Feng Qingchen tried her best to gain weight during the confinement period but didn't gain any weight. It was really enviable.

In fact, Feng Qingchen is not idle at all. Although she does not have to worry about the matter of establishing the queen, she has to handle all the affairs of the Feng Mansion. News has come from the grassland that Madam Min and Qingge are planning to show up at the ceremony, and Madam Min wants to take the opportunity to return to Dongling as the Grand Empress Dowager.

Thousands of people gathered at the ceremony. No matter how powerful the Ninth Prince was, he could not reverse right and wrong. If Madam Min really appeared at that time, returning to Dongling would not be impossible.

"Who sent the message?" Feng Qingchen asked Tong Jue.

Only when the Ninth Prince went to the morning court did Tong Jue and Tong Yao dare to come in and report these matters.

"Master Zhi had someone deliver it." Tong Jue presented Feng Lizhi's handwritten letter.

In the letter, Feng Lizhi not only wrote about Madam Mingmin and Feng Li Qingge's plan, but also had a request, which was to ask Feng Qingchen to look after Youge after his death. He had already explained everything to Youge, and Youge chose to stay in the clan.

"Die?" Feng Qingchen snorted unhappily, "You're thinking of dying for such a small matter, and you still want to be the King of Fengli."

Tong Jue really wanted to explain for Feng Lizhi, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know how to say it. After all, if Feng Qingchen didn't care about this matter, Feng Lizhi would not have to die, but... he might not be reused in the future.

Military generals are unable to go to the battlefield, and this punishment is no less severe than death.

"Tell Feng Lizhi to escort Madam Min and Feng Li Qingge to the capital. He doesn't need to worry about other things. Let the elders arrange someone to take over the troops on the grassland." Feng Qingchen had no intention of letting Feng Lizhi continue to command the troops, but he would not let such a talented person die.

The generals carefully cultivated by the Fengli Clan must not die easily before their useful value is fully exploited. After receiving the education of the Fengli Clan, it is time to give back.

These were not matters that Tong Jue could interfere in. Tong Jue nodded in agreement and passed on Feng Qingchen's order. As soon as Tong Jue left, the wet nurse brought the baby in.

After more than ten days of raising, Naibao's eyebrows and eyes have grown, and she is so beautiful and delicate, she is really a treasure. Xiao Ba drools at Naibao every day, and blocks the cradle with his little arms and legs, not allowing others to see easily. After hearing Empress Dowager Xie say that since you like Naibao so much, you should marry Naibao as your wife, he calls Naibao "wife" every day.

Once, the Ninth Prince saw this. He immediately turned gloomy and said coldly, "Don't call me wife. Even if my son likes you, she is not your wife. You are the one."

After hearing this, Feng Qingchen and Queen Mother Xie looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Why was the Ninth Prince's focus so different from that of ordinary people?

Of course, the little episode between the children did not affect the lives of the adults. When Naibao was one month old, the full set of empress's guards and the crown prince's guards arrived at Feng Mansion to pick up Feng Qingchen and Naibao to enter the palace...
